this is an inaccurate description of the event. the van was making a left turn onto 94, failing to yield to on coming traffic.

Blind a$$ non driving clowns that make left turns in front of bikes kill our brothers and sisters every day. They need to be charged with manslaughter.

Sorry to hear about accident. We're out there a lot to bicycle the Katy Trail at Augusta--Hwy 94 is a narrow twisty road and half the drivers are out sight seeing or hitting wine country.
